Chapter 96

Ji Mingqing didn't know what happened behind him, but Bai Cangze heard the conversation between several people.

"Hey! What's wrong with you!" Several people looked at Shaoyang who seemed to have been pushed down suddenly, and quickly helped him up.

Bai Cangze withdrew his hand and walked forward with Ji Mingqian, the two walking side by side.

"Let's call Shaoyang over after we get to the inn," Bai Cangze suggested.

Ji Mingqing nodded. "I took a quick look last time and it all seemed quite good. Every first floor is beautifully built. Was it you who decided to make the eighty-first, ninety-first, and one hundred and first floors into fighting arenas?"

"I made the decision. It was originally just to provide some training grounds for the Kunze Palace servants. Later, I realized that many visitors also needed it, and the nearest fighting arena was a bit far from here."

"Then I can ask Lu Jiyao to come over and help. You still remember Lu Jiyao, he was the first friend I met after arriving in the fairyland."

"That's fine." Bai Cangze nodded slightly.

When he arrived at the inn, Ji Mingqing wanted to contact Shaoyang but was stopped by Bai Cangze.

"Should we go up and take a look first?" Bai Cangze looked straight into Ji Mingqing's eyes, revealing an unquestionable attitude.

Ji Mingqing held back the words "I've already seen it before" that were about to come out of his mouth, and instead nodded and said, "Okay, then please, Master, take me through it."

Bai Cangze was satisfied and told Ji Mingqing about his plan to build the inn. At that time, Ji Mingqing just said that he wanted to build an inn. Even the idea of ​​building 123 floors was just a casual remark because he was only 23 years old.

I had planned to make a detailed plan after returning from Kunze Palace, but I didn't expect that a year would pass and I would miss it. However, thanks to the Lord, the inn was built more perfectly than he had imagined.

"So you said these were all your ideas, and Shaoyang decorated them according to your orders?" Ji Mingqing followed Bai Cangze's footsteps, listened to Bai Cangze's brief and powerful introduction, and sighed.

Shouldn't the Lord be very busy? Why is he so busy and still so concerned about his affairs?

"...This is an indoor children's playground built according to your previous idea. I rebuilt all the facilities outside and put them here. What do you think?"

Ji Mingqing looked at the children's playground in front of him, which had infinite space thanks to the formation, and was equipped with a towering slide in the center. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to start.

He knew that Bai Cangze meant well, but this was completely different from what he thought. If he brought it up like this, he wondered if Bai Cangze would be angry.

But this question has to be answered. After seeing Ji Mingqing's conflicted expression, Bai Cangze thought about it and turned into his cub form before Ji Mingqing started talking.

"Does this make you feel better?" Bai Cangze raised his head and looked at Ji Mingqing with his blue eyes. When Ji Mingqing saw him, he suddenly felt a soreness in his femur.

But he just suppressed the feeling for the moment, then looked at the familiar Xiaowan and nodded vigorously.

"Much better now, thank you, Lord."

Bai Cangze leaped hard and landed on Ji Mingqing's shoulder as usual. "If you have any questions, you can ask now."

Ji Mingqing rubbed his fingers together a bit embarrassedly. "Actually, the Lord has already helped me a lot, but at that time I wanted to build a children's park here that was completely different from the ones outside. Whether it was the amusement facilities or the way of entering the park, it would be different from the ones outside."

"So do all these have to be demolished?" Bai Cangze did not show the impatience that Ji Mingqing imagined. Instead, he discussed with Ji Mingqing calmly.

Ji Mingqing relaxed a little and became a little bolder. "That's exactly what I thought. I want to rebuild a children's playground here that's suitable for indoor play and can be distinguished from the one outside."

"This way you can earn two bucks, right?" Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing and made a rare joke.

After listening to this, Ji Ming nodded seriously. "I want to make money from both sides, so that they can't give up either one." After saying this, he added, "I want to be a black-hearted boss."

"Before you become a ruthless boss, shouldn't you first raise the prices of Fengxiyuan? When you went to the market, didn't you notice that Fengxiyuan had the lowest prices on the entire street?"

Ji Mingqing recalled it and it seemed to be true, but he said without caring much, "It doesn't matter. Once customers get used to a price increase, they might lose their enthusiasm for consumption. Besides, isn't it good to sell more at a low profit? Even if the price is so high, fewer people will buy, and the income will be the same."

"You underestimate the people in the fairy world. A spiritual stone or a fairy stone is the same in their eyes."

Ji Mingqing shook his head. "It's not the same. Look at Lu Jiyao. He has to be a sparring partner in the fighting arena and also work at Anding Palace. For him, one immortal stone is definitely not too much."

"But not everyone can get the same treatment as in Kunze Palace. Otherwise, why would so many people try so hard to get close to Kunze Palace." Ji Mingqing raised his hand and rubbed Bai Cangze's head habitually. After rubbing it, Ji Mingqing's hand froze in mid-air.

Bai Cangze pretended to be calm. He raised his head and rubbed it against Ji Mingqing's palm.

Ji Mingqing was a little dazed. He actually felt that Bai Cangze looked no different from an ordinary kitten. At this moment, he forgot that this was the noble and unattainable lord.

"Okay, do you have any other questions?" Bai Cangze leaned back and asked in a normal tone.

Ji Mingqing came back to his senses, "Isn't the 121st floor still empty? It's such a great location, I want to build a sky bathroom, an open-air one."

"The bathroom can be divided into a large pool and a small pool. The small pool is a single or double room, and the larger pool is a family room that can accommodate seven or eight people." Ji Mingqing gestured while talking to Bai Cangze.

Ji Mingqing's inspiration came from the last time he was soaking in the fairy spring in Kunze Palace. He still remembered seeing an infinity pool on the Internet before, but he had only looked at it on the Internet and had never experienced it in real life.

"You know what? I saw a lot of fun things online, but I had never experienced them. I was thinking that when I made some money, I would bring my mom along, but now I realize I don't have the chance."

Ji Mingqing felt a little disappointed, but he cheered up the next moment, "It's the same in the fairy world. The fairy world is much more fun than the small world."

"Who said before that he felt it was boring in the fairyland and wanted to go back to the small world to play as soon as possible?" Bai Cangze pointed out.

Ji Mingqing immediately defended himself: "You heard wrong! I have a great family and great achievements in the Immortal Realm. How could I possibly covet the fun things in the small world? Besides, anything I can enjoy in the small world, I will also work hard to make it in the Immortal Realm."

This is true. Bai Cangze said to Ji Mingqing at this time: "Now you can call Shaoyang over."

Ji Mingqing nodded, took out the fairy ring, found Shaoyang's mark, and discovered that Shaoyang was waiting for them at the door of the inn.

Ji Mingqing went downstairs as quickly as possible. "You came so early, why didn't you tell me? You should have come up earlier."

Shao Yang glanced at Bai Cangze nervously, wanting to say something but stopping himself. If Su Jinglin behind him spoke for Shao Yang, "My master is worried that going up early might disturb you and the Lord."

"Why bother you?" Ji Mingqing smiled and patted Shao Yang's shoulder. "I just found a few places that need adjustment. They're all on this jade slip." Ji Mingqing took out the jade slip and handed it to Shao Yang. "There's still one hundred and twenty-first floor left. I've already figured out what to do. The schematics are all on this jade slip. I wonder how many days it will take to build it?"

Shao Yang probed his consciousness into the jade slip. "Although there are not many things, they are a bit trivial, so it may be slow. It will take about half a month to complete."

Ji Mingqing quickly said, "How can this be considered slow? I already think it's very fast."

Shaoyang looked at Bai Cangze who was on Ji Mingqing's shoulder. Bai Cangze immediately used his spiritual sense to push him, causing Shaoyang to stumble. Su Jinglin, who was behind Shaoyang, immediately supported him and asked with concern, "Master, are you okay?"

Shao Yang quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just accidentally stepped on air." Then he met Ji Mingqing's concerned expression and said, "I will finish it as soon as possible."

Ji Mingqing nodded and prepared to leave with Bai Cangze. Before leaving, Bai Cangze left a message to warn Shaoyang.

“Don’t do anything unnecessary.”

Shaoyang “…”

I think I've become quite restrained...

"Do I still need to go to the Immortal Plant Field to practice today?" Ji Mingqing turned around and looked at Bai Cangze and asked.

Bai Cangze shook his head and said, "You don't have to go to the Immortal Planting Field today. Return to the courtyard and I will teach you how to merge with the jade on your chest."

Thinking of the jade on his chest, Ji Mingqing felt a slight warmth in his heart. "This thing must be very important."

Bai Cangze answered without hesitation: "Of course. This jade is the medium used to control time. Without this jade, even I would not be able to return to a specific point in time."

After hearing what Bai Cangze said, Ji Ming immediately became nervous. The hand that was just stroking the jade was now tightly grasping the jade in his hand.

After returning to the courtyard, Ji Mingqing took the jade off his neck and said, "No, no, this jade is too valuable. You should keep it for yourself."

Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing's gesture of rejection and frowned, saying, "No, this jade is for you. Do you still want to go back?"

Ji Mingqing hesitated for a moment, "But this thing is really too valuable, and there is only this one piece. What if I lose it? Of course it's better to leave it with you."

"Who told you there's only one piece?" Bai Cangze frowned and pushed the jade back. "I only said this piece of jade is very important, not that there's only one. If you want to go back, then keep this piece of jade well."

"Then do you have any formation that can tightly connect me to this piece of jade, such as the one where the jade is there and I am alive, but the jade is gone and I am gone?"

After hearing Ji Mingqing's words, Bai Cangze turned back into human form, which scared Ji Mingqing. However, Bai Cangze ignored Ji Mingqing's stiffness, snatched the jade away, and forcefully put it around Ji Mingqing's neck.

"Don't think too much. If it's lost, it's lost. I'll give you a new one." Bai Cangze hung the jade steadily around Ji Mingqing's neck, and then said, "I'll teach you a spell later. Once you become proficient in it, you'll have a close connection with the jade. Then you'll be able to sense where the jade is, and you won't have to worry about losing it."

Oh, that's fine too. Ji Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax, he saw Bai Cangze's oppressive figure.

Ji Mingqing suddenly felt a little useless. The communication between the two of them had been very relaxed just now, but now it had returned to its previous state.

Bai Cangze looked normal. After putting the necklace on Ji Mingqing, he pinched the back of Ji Mingqing's neck as if nothing had happened.

After Ji Mingqing felt Bai Cangze's action, his whole body trembled, the hairs on his body stood up, and his back became even stiffer.

Unexpectedly, he heard Bai Cangze chuckle in his ear: "Do you need me to give you a massage to relax?"

At this moment, Ji Mingqing thought of what he had just told Bai Cangze. After he graduated from university, the only luxury he had was to go to a bath center and get a 168 yuan health package. He was so exhausted from the massage that he screamed in pain.

"No, no." Ji Mingqing quickly dodged Bai Cangze's hand, "Your strength is definitely much greater than those masters. I definitely can't bear it."

Seeing Ji Mingqing's reaction, Bai Cangze couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. Ji Mingqing saw that his face, which had always been like the top of a snowy mountain, seemed to be melting ice and snow. The wind that blew at the right time moved the ends of Bai Cangze's hair, and Ji Mingqing was stunned on the spot.

I have never seen the Lord smile like this before. It feels so fresh.

Bai Cangze stepped forward again and stretched out his hand towards Ji Mingqing. Ji Mingqing subconsciously dodged and covered the back of his neck, "Don't pinch it."

Bai Cangze raised his eyebrows. "What are you thinking about? I just want to transfer the spell directly into your sea of ​​consciousness. But if you want me to give you a massage, that's fine too."

How could this person be like this! Ji Mingqing originally thought that Bai Cangze was the kind of person who was aloof and serious, but why did this person always bully him when no one else was around?

"No, no." Ji Mingqing quickly waved his hand to refuse. Although Ji Mingqing wanted to complain about Bai Cangze crazily in his heart, he was the lord after all, so he didn't dare to say some words.

For example, "Be serious!"

"Are you cursing me in your heart?" After Bai Cangze said this, Ji Mingqing shuddered, "You can't be reading my mind, right?"

Bai Cangze shrugged, "No, I guessed it, but you admitted it, what did you scold me for?"

Ji Mingqing choked and turned his head away, no longer looking at Bai Cangze. As a result, he heard Bai Cangze laughing even louder. He quietly raised his eyes and saw that Bai Cangze was laughing without caring about his image.

Ji Mingqing's nervousness was immediately dispelled by Bai Cangze's action. He walked forward and pushed Bai Cangze as if possessed.

"Stop laughing!"

Bai Cangze lowered his head, looking at Ji Mingqing's feigned anger, like a little fox taking advantage of the power of a tiger. He raised his hand and ruffled Ji Mingqing's hair, but Ji Mingqing immediately shook Bai Cangze's hand away. Bai Cangze then said, "You're allowed to keep rubbing my head, but I'm not allowed to rub yours?"

Ji Mingqing just thought about how he had been rubbing Xiaowan's head unscrupulously before. In fact, he had not only rubbed Xiaowan's head, but also touched Xiaowan's whole body!

Does that mean he touched the Lord all over?

Ji Mingqing looked at the tall lord in front of him, feeling uneasy, afraid, ashamed, nervous, and other complex emotions intertwined together. He closed his eyes and lowered his head in front of Bai Cangze.

"You can touch it however you want."

Bai Cangze stretched out his hand and hooked Ji Mingqing's forehead against Bai Cangze's chest. He felt the vibration of Bai Cangze's chest due to his laughter, and wanted to go all out.

It's just a head rub anyway, so I let him rub it and just consider it as paying off my debt.

When Bai Cangze had laughed enough, Ji Mingqing felt that Bai Cangze had only stroked his head twice. He thought that the Lord must have passed the immortal energy into him when he was rubbing his head, or perhaps it was through these two strokes that he engraved the magic formula into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Otherwise, how could he feel numb all over, and even feel a little reluctant when Bai Cangze's hand left his hair?

"Alright, I'll teach you now." Bai Cangze held Ji Mingqing's chin and asked him to lift his head. "Are you ready?"

Ji Ming tilted his head, looked at Bai Cangze, and blinked twice, "Didn't you teach me the magic formula when you touched my head just now?"

Bai Cangze took away the hand that was holding Ji Mingqian's chin, and couldn't help but pinch Ji Mingqing's ear.

"Of course not."

"Oh." Ji Mingqing didn't care about Bai Cangze's little action. He continued to tilt his neck and head, looked at Bai Cangze and asked: "So, are you going to teach me now?"

Bai Cangze nodded, "Close your eyes first."

Ji Mingqing closed his eyes without any doubt. Bai Cangze looked at the obedient Ji Mingqing, and the familiar desire surged in his heart again.

He raised his hand and wanted to touch Ji Mingqing's face, but just as he was about to touch Ji Mingqing, he came to his senses and quickly withdrew his hand.

Don’t be anxious, Bai Cangze said to himself.

Seeing that Bai Cangze did not move for a long time, Ji Mingqing could no longer suppress his anxiety. He wanted to learn the magic formula as soon as possible, so he quietly opened one eye, but was caught by Bai Cangze.

"Close your eyes." Bai Cangze said sternly. Ji Mingqing was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes tightly again.

Looking at the obedient Ji Mingqing, Bai Cangze took a deep breath and flexed his fingers. He then stretched out his hand, carved a mark in the air, and then injected it into Ji Mingqing's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The spell has a total of 121 characters. After you memorize the entire spell, you can practice it skillfully."

Ji Mingqing felt a string of golden characters entering his sea of ​​consciousness. He quickly arranged these characters in order in his sea of ​​consciousness. Then he heard Bai Cangze's words again, but he had no time to respond and just nodded hastily.

Then something embarrassing happened - he didn't recognize half of the words.

Ji Mingqing's Adam's apple moved, and he had to open his eyes and look at Bai Cangze, who had a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Why are you opening your eyes now? Have you memorized it yet?"

Ji Mingqing quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, there was just a small problem."

Bai Cangze: "What's the problem?"

Ji Mingqing's face flushed with embarrassment. He looked at Bai Cangze and said sheepishly, "My Lord, could you please read this spell to me again? I don't recognize half of the words here."

Bai Cangze was stunned for a moment after hearing Ji Mingqing's words, and then he burst into laughter, making Ji Mingqing's face even redder.

Bai Cangze laughed for a while, but still showed no sign of stopping. Ji Mingqing was a little annoyed and angry: "Can you please stop laughing? These characters are not simplified Chinese, not even traditional Chinese! I've never learned them!"

"How do you recognize the words on the jade slip?" Bai Cangze laughed enough and looked at Ji Mingqing and said.

"The characters on the jade slip are all in traditional Chinese. Yours is obviously..." Ji Mingqing was stuck. He didn't know what font the characters on the spell Bai Cangze taught him were in. It looked a bit like seal script, or maybe oracle bone script? Or maybe it was a font unique to the immortal world?

In short, it was different from what he had seen before, and he didn't recognize any of it!

"Okay then. I'll read it to you a few times. Do you need me to write it down?" Bai Cangze even thoughtfully made plans for Ji Mingqing, but the mischief in his eyes could not be concealed.

Ji Mingqing stamped his foot vigorously and said, "Then write the pinyin for me. If you write the pinyin for me, I can read it myself."

"What is pinyin?" Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing and asked deliberately.

"Ha! You don't know this, do you? It's like I don't know this word!"

Bai Cangze nodded, "Indeed, I'm sorry."

Bai Cangze's straightforward apology made Ji Mingqing feel a little embarrassed. He rubbed his face awkwardly, and following Bai Cangze's words, he took out a pen and paper.

"Or you can teach me how to pronounce these characters, and I'll teach you pinyin."

"There's no rush. Let's talk about it later." Bai Cangze sat next to Ji Mingqing and said, "I'll read it slowly. If you can't keep up, you can let me read it again."

Ji Mingqing nodded vigorously, "Then let's get started quickly!"

After he finished speaking, Bai Cangze seemed to be worried that Ji Ming couldn't hear clearly, so he leaned closer to him. Just when Ji Mingqing felt a little uncomfortable, Bai Cangze's low and deep voice reached Ji Mingqing's ears.

Fortunately, he knew all the words in the first sentence. Ji Mingqing, who had just been distracted by Bai Cangze's voice, secretly rejoiced in his heart.

This feels a bit strange indeed.
